For just 11 euro per person, you can jump on a train from Milano and in 40 minutes, you arrive in Como or for 14 euro and 2 hours on a train you arrive in Torino (Turin - where the Olympics were held recently). Wayne and I decided it was time to explore and try our hand at navigating the European railways. What fun we had surfing our way to our seats as the train began to roll forward toward the Alps! We were more than ready to arrive to Como and take in the Alps (Alpis in Italiano), Lake Como and breathe some clean air. The weather was perfect - not too hot, but hot enough to beg for a gelato midday.
We returned to Milan for meeting on Sunday and then jumped on a train again on Sunday afternoon to go to Torino. Fred Parsons from Boston, Wayne's dad's compadre from years back was in Torino on business. (He heard about meetings after tripping over Paul Boyd praying in the bunks on the way to the bathroon during the Korean War era.)
We wonder who of our friends or family will be the first to jump on a train with us to one of these neat places?
